The ES device is shipped in “DHCP Mode".
l On connecting to the network, the device automatically checks if
it is connected to a DHCP Server. If this is the case, the DHCP server
will allocate an IP address automatically to the ES device.
lIf no DHCP Server is detected (e.g. you are connecting to a
Private network), the ES device will default to an IP address of
192.168.127.254 within 60 seconds. Please ensure the PC you’re
using for configuration can communicate with the 192.168.127.xxx
IP range.
3. Network IP Addressing

1. Connect the ES device to your local network or a private network by
using a standard straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable and
plugging into the Ethernet port connection.
2. Connecting to Power

to the ES power terminal block or jack connection
If using the Brainboxes PW-644 power supply ensure:
a. The wire marked “-“ is connected to V-
b. The wire marked “+” is connected to V+
*If using your own power supply please check input requirements on page 4 - Hardware
3. Confirm the device beeps as it is turned on.
4. When the Status LED starts blinking green (after 5-60
seconds), the device is ready to use.
5. Connect the serial cable from your serial device to the serial port on
the ES device. Refer to Section 8 of this Quick Start Guide for pin
outs.
Make a note of device MAC address (on side panel, 00-0a-4f-XX-XX-XX) as
you will need it to identify the device on your network later.
